White vs Guards Red - Decisions, Decisions

Hi all,

Have a 991 c2 on order w/ 20' S wheels. My instinct was to go Guards Red but I've seen a few picks where I can't tell how well the color looks in daylight. I've recently seen several with white and think it looks great.

Pretty sure you can't go wrong with either but would love some pics with those colors and any feedback on how they look in the wild.

Opting for the glass sunroof as well.

Thanks!

How about white w/red interior.

Can't go wrong with either choice, as you know.

I have a white with CS 20"s, but if I had the chance to do it again I would go with Guards red with CS wheels in platinum, looks just perfect.

The S wheels in Pt would look great with others. Difficult choice. I like the white with red idea of PSTT07. I have a red interior with inserts and it is great. Pictures don't do it justice.

Otherwise, I have a quarter if you need to borrow it to flip!

This is a tough one. If I had to pick between these two colors, I'd go red...although a clean white car with dark tinted windows never gets old. Like I said..tough one.

Gaurds Red is awesome

I am on my 6th Porsche. I have always gone with black (3), gray and then white. I always thought the red was old school Porsche. I just bought the 991 in Gaurds Red because it shows the lines of the car so well and the color is fantastic on this new model. It is really worth seeing in person to appreciate it. Good luck!

I agree. My local dealer has this combo on the showroom floor.

I'll try to take some better pictures in the daylight. Meanwhile here's a pic of guards red just before sun set.

I've had 3 red, 2 silver (including my current 997.2 C4S), and 1 Atlas grey (really dark blue) Porsches. I just ordered a white cab partly because I'm keeping the C4S and don't want two silver cars but mostly because I like the contrast between the white body and the red brakes, tail lights and reflectors.

The only thing I don't like about Guards Red is that in can look a little orange in some lighting conditions.
